What state are you in? I'm in Texas. I had a $149 down payment and sales tax on $499.99 at $41.25 (8.25%) for a total of $191.24 out the door. Same payments as you. So, I'm curious as to how I spent $58 more dollars than you after taxes....I was able to get the L810 for $100 + $33 tax and $17.50/per month.
fifthGear's profile says Rhode Island... they have a 7% sales tax rate. If that's true... $33 is still low for tax. They're supposed to tax based on the full price of the phone, but 7% of $549 is $38.50.What state are you in? I'm in Texas.

Just looked it up, and they have no sales tax on clothing. That's awesome. Better than the Texas "Tax-Free Weekend" we get once a year, eh?
